Art in Our Age

Vis-à-vis en face (J’ai quinze ans) is the 12th publication of Morava publishing house, Honza Zamojski’s artistic project. The portraits collected in the book (earlier outlined with his finger on the screen of a smartphone) are a free interpretation of the works in the collection of the ING Polish Art Foundation.

1:1 - works from the collection of the ING Polish Art Foundation is a catalogue of the exhibition which was held at the National Art Gallery in Sopot from 29 September to 4 November 2012. The Catalogue also referred to the artbook Vis-à-vis en face (J’ai quinze ans) published by Morava publishing house. Both publications were created according to the concept and project by Honza Zamojski.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Foundation, we released the Polish-English album, 'The ING Polish Art Foundation. Collection 2000-2010', which presents the entire collection and profiles of artists associated with us.

A return to surrealistic poetics - the “tired of reality” as in the title - is a clear trend in Polish contemporary art. Why have young artists turned away from the world surrounding them? And does their attitude reflect the return of decorative and easy art – or on the contrary – is it an expression of the necessity to rethink existing models of artistic engagement?

"Guide of the contemporary art collector" by Piotr Bazylko and Krzysztof Masiewicz is the first book on the Polish market on collecting contemporary art. The guidebook was created by collectors and admirers of Polish contemporary art, the authors of a blog on the contemporary art market www.artbazaar.blogspot.com.
